Symptom : Paper jams, dog-ears, or paper skews occur when paper is fed from a paper tray.
Action :
1. Check to see if the edge of the corner separator that touches the paper has
burrs or scratches.
Measure :
Remove burrs or scratches by filing the edge with sandpaper, or replace the corner separator.
2. Check the amount of overlap between the corner separator and the paper as shown
below.
Specifications :
1) The overlap amount must be:
- 5.7 ? 1.2 mm with the AD-1 Paper Tray
- 6.0 ? 1.2 mm with the Optional Paper Tray
2) The difference in the amount of overlap between the front and rear of the corner separator
must be within 1.5 mm.
Countermeasure :
If the overlap amount isn?t within the above specifications, the corner separator may have
been deformed. Reform the separator or replace if necessary.
Reference :
Depending on the conditions, the following problems may arise.
- when the difference of the amount of overlap between the front and rear of the separator is
greater than 1.5 mm -------------------------------------------------------------- Paper Skew
- when the amount of overlap is greater than the specifications ------ Misfeed
- when the overlapped amount is less than the specifications ---------- Double Feed |
